Bentgo Fresh

This is our 3rd Bentgo Box purchase. We started with the Bentgo Kids. It served us well from pre-school through first grade. It is still great for taking snacks to the beach, park, day camp, etc. Then we bought the Bengo Fresh and the Bentgo Stainless steel models to accommodate increased appetites. I LOVE them all. All three boxes have been easy for kiddos to open/close and are truly leakproof. Want to pack chicken salad and crackers for lunch? Not a problem, everything stays in its own compartment. I like having everything in one container. The box fits easily into a backpack, and at the end of the day, I am not stuck with a bunch of small containers to wash (assuming they make it home), and I don't need to use plastic baggies or other single-use containers. It saves me money and is good for the planet. Win-win. The bento box design and portions allow for enough variety to keep kids interested in their own lunch. The entire unit can go in the dishwasher too. I usually hand wash the outer case and throw the inserts into the machine. It's just easy. All three models have proved durable. One of the boxes had a hinge that failed, but Bento Customer Service quickly resolved the issue. No hassles. They stand by their products.

I have tried so many different types of lunch boxes and containers for my son and have had problems with all of them. The biggest issue with most of them is that they don't keep food fresh long because they're not totally sealed, so, for example if I were to cut up apples and carrots the night before, put them in the lunchbox and put the lunchbox in the fridge, by morning everything would be brown and wilty. With this box I feel like I can prep lunch the night before and not worry about it! I put apples in one small compartment, carrots in the other, and use the main large compartment for his protein bar, snack size chips and a fun size kit kat or something like that. I also love that the Bentgo fits inside his Super Mario lunch bag PERFECTLY, and I can even throw a freezer thingy on top and put his juice or milk box on top of that and zip the whole thing up! No need for separate containers. It's VERY easy to open and close and seals very well. The BEST part about it is that you can just pull the food container out of the hinged part and throw it in the dishwasher or rinse it quickly in the sink between uses. It's very, very convenient. The box is high quality and well made and doesn't feel the least bit cheap. My son loves it and so do it! Thanks Bentgo! And yes, I paid full price for it!

This is the second Bentgo lunchbox I have purchased. I purchased this one because the older model does not include a compartment large enough for a full, uncut sandwich. This model is significantly wider than the slimmer version. It's still fine, but I do wish they would have made this one as thin as last one. I find the additional depth of this model a bit more bulky than necessary. That said, I would still purchase again because overall it's still smaller than most other bento style lunchbox options, and definitely smaller than a traditional children's lunchbox. Although I don't use it, the sandwich compartment comes with a removable partition in case you wish to further section off food. The compartments are very generous, and easy to pack any common lunch fair such as popcorn, pretzels, apple slices, cheese sticks, baby carrots, raising, full sized sandwich on wider artisan bread, etc. I love the fact that this lunchbox (just like the original model) does not need a carrying case. To wash, simply remove inner tray then wash and allow to dry. It's dishwasher safe, but I just hand wash mine because it's so convenient and washes up so fast and easy. Other than wishing this model was less deep, there are really no negatives to this purchase. The deeper compartments do allow you carry more generous portions of things like potato chips if desired - this may be more of a plus for older users since they eat more than primary school students. Again, it's not really an issue and I'd buy this over and again. I own plenty of other lunchboxes, but this is my go to for daily use!

My son loves his lunch box. He got his favorite color, it appears nice and it is easy to open it. The compartments are of good size and we can put snacks in addition to sandwiches. The material is good and the lid closer tightly providing insulation and preventing leak.

My 4 year old loves Bentgo products. With various color and print options to choose from he likes his lunch box along with its matching lunch bag and ice packs. It holds the perfect amount of food and compartments are just the right size and helps to pack variety of food/snacks without any leakage. easy to clean and easier for kids to open the box by themselves.The only reason for giving a 4 star rating is that the latches aren't durable and breaks easily. However Bentgo has got amazing customer service and are quick to respond and solve any issues we had with the bentgo products.
